Even as other banks are backing down, the bank that debanked us doubles down. Last spring, 15 state attorney generals wrote to Bank of America warning that its politically motivated debanking targeting conservatives and religious people was under the looking glass. After taking office, President Trump directly challenged Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan to stop discriminating against conservatives. “I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank. What you’re doing is wrong.” But instead of ending its political discrimination, BOA launched a...

If you’ve ever had a rug pulled out from under you, then you know how it feels to suddenly lose access to your own bank account. That’s what happened to me in 2022, when JPMorgan Chase, America’s largest bank, abruptly canceled our newly opened account for the National Committee for Religious Freedom. I started NCRF after spending decades in public life, including three years in the first Trump administration serving as ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom. The group proactively defends the constitutional freedom of religion so that all Americans can peaceably live according to their faith. Our advisory board includes...

This includes 100% tariffs on all Teslas, a direct attack on Elon Musk, and a full ban on Wisconsin dairy products to stick it to Trump. “I am calling on all the countries that are affected by this tariff to join us. And our retaliation will target specific Trump constituencies. Another group that we’re going to go after is Wisconsin dairy farmers. We know how important they are for the President, and we’re not going to let them sell their products in Canada anymore,” Freeland said. This is the same woman who froze Canadian truckers’ bank accounts for protesting vaccine...

Incoming First Lady Melania Trump opened up about the persecution she’s endured since leaving the White House in 2021. Trump shared her experience with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo in an Oct. 7 interview. Trump said the persecution began as soon as President-elect Donald Trump announced his decision to run for president in 2015 but that it continued after leaving the White House. ...

John Eastman, once an attorney for former President Donald Trump, was de-banked twice in the span of several months by two prominent financial institutions, Bank of America and USAA, he told the Daily Caller.

Another step towards implementing a Social Credit system.. Financial privacy is a right under the constitution, as is free speech. Under the guise of “credit review”, Stripe is now rolling out a requirement that appears to target conservative or "anti-vax" Substack authors. Stripe is requiring that these authors provide all of their current and historic financial records associated with the bank account into which Stripe deposits Substack subscriber payments (after taking 10% off the top for Substack and 3% for Stripe). Stripe already has information concerning this bank account (including deposits from Stripe), as we have been doing business with...

“Ohio-based coin shop owner took to social media this week to inform the world that his regional bank, where he has been a customer in good standing for many years, shut down all six of his business and personal bank accounts…”

JPMorgan Chase is back to debanking. Once again, it’s not providing any explanations. And once again it’s targeting people who dare to question the Left Government/Woke Business conspiracy against liberty. At about the same time, it appears, Chase debanked, without warning, Drs. Syed Haider and Joseph Mercola. Wait, no. Not just them, but also Dr. Mercola’s employees – and his and their families. All without explanation. These debankings don’t come without context. You may recall that last fall Chase debanked Senator, Ambassador and Governor (so, you know, pretty well respected) Brownback’s religious liberty organization, after having debanked General Flynn and...

An internal review .. showed Coutts' wealth reputational risk committee had said his values did not align with the bank's own. ... Some major NatWest investors are also applying pressure on the bank's chair Howard Davies to step down for mishandling the...

Coutts bank, part of the NatWest Group, was exposed last week for having de-banked Nigel Farage for political reasons — something both the bank and the liberal British media previously denied. Despite her apology last week, NatWest CEO Alison Rose has been ousted with the bank — her Tuesday admission to misleading the nation likely having been a factor. While NatWest chairman Howard Davies indicated it "is a sad moment," Farage appears emboldened, stating on Twitter, "Dame Alison Rose has gone. Others must follow." What's the background? Farage, the former English politician who proved instrumental in the 2020 restoration of...

A group of attorneys general from across the U.S. is going after one of the country’s largest banks, which it claims treats some Christians unfairly. In a letter recently sent to JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, the groups said the bank preaches “openness and inclusivity,” but it has “persistently discriminated” against some religious liberty groups. “Chase cannot call itself ‘inclusive’ and say that it ‘opposes discrimination in any form’ while simultaneously disenfranchising its clients over religious and political differences,” Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who took the lead in the effort, said. “I’m leading this coalition to stand up...
